You are so right. Just look at the pot-smoking anarchist college kid giving a speech supporting Ron Paul in this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZZTpYTQLz6c
A well-known leftist, socialist politician endorsing Ron Paul: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W7r27Az_Mns&feature=user
Here's my favorite Ron Paul ad, which is the one I made:
So I presume you are in the minority of supporters? Does that not bode well for his candidacy?
Oh please, I suppose they’re just a bunch of angry albino wican midgets who dislike our policy regarding global warming. And al-Zarqawi and his followers were just in Iraq to sell flowers and pass out religious pamphlets. If not self proclaimed Al-Qaeda, certainly adherents to their murderous ideology, which makes them one in the same.
No transcript yet, but the Flash video is available on the PBS site here. (I could do without the funeral march that comes with it, though. Subliminal advertising?)
Scratch that last parenthetical comment. It was from another window on my browser. My error.
One reason why Bush and the GOP rightly opposed it 2000. Of course, Clinton was in office then. Everything changed after 9/11 an "R" was elected.
And your view is that is should not have changed. We will differ on that, I guess.
Why do we give a crap about a third-world sand trap, in the first place?
Because, in my opinion, it would have been reckless not to. Should we have also allowed the Soviet Union to continue to expand without engaging in the Cold War and the real conflicts that took place to try and stop the SU encroachment?
And in any case, our presence actually tends to destabilize the region, rather than stabilize it.
Long-term, short-term, or both? Is Europe destabilized? Is Japan?
It was a complete waste of time for us to be messing around over there in the first place. Who cares about the U.N. looking like a paper tiger?
We (the U.S. of A) looked like a paper tiger, as well. recall that the second airliner to hit the WTC gunned the throttle before it slammed into one of its towers, it looked like a middle-finger to me! One that said, "whatcha gonna do!"
Ron Paul doesn't want the government to send foreign aid to Darfur or any other place.
I prefaced my comment that you responded to with the word "Leftists". You are not a Leftist, are you?
Exactly. And Wilsonianism is crap. Treaty of Versailles? League of Nations? We shouldn't have been involved in WWI either, the stupidest war ever fought in the history of the planet.
That is your opinion. I do not subscribe to it though. And just because you say these things does not make your position any more truthful to me. It does make you a rather principled isolationist, which, though I find unrealistic, is admirable.
Trying to promote liberty by military force is pretty kooky, and not the responsibility of the U.S. federal government anyway.
Maybe you should also read post#53 written by me.
Hey - what they do is their business. Paul's not courting them. He's the one that threw the message of liberty out there & people are coming towards it like sharks to chum.
You are sadly mistaken. Most of Paul's support comes from conservatives angry over the big spending, big government and prolonged war. You also have libertarians who have been ignored by the GOP, and the populist right concerned about illegal immigration & the NAU.
Paul may not win over registered Republicans in the primaries, but keep in mind that the GOP base as a whole has dwindled drastically. Fred, Mitt, Huckster, Rudy, McCain -- they're all chasing after that small pie of registered Republicans and then you have a guy like Paul who is bringing in newcomers, the libertarians, the independents, the cross-over Democrats, and the conservatives angry at Bush back into the GOP to vote for him.
If Dr. Paul wins the nomination, you can basically stick a fork into the Democratic Party.
You can believe what you want, but Paul doesn't support their views, and if they're supporting him, then they're wasting their time.
I give up,LOL! God bless you and Dr.Paul. Your still going to owe me a case of Leinie’s though. I perfer original Leinenkugels. Merry Christmas to you and yours and GO PACKERS!!!!
It will not happen. But, if it did, you're probably mistaken about what would happen to Democrats...there'd likely be a major realignment and many big-government Republicans would be woo'ed over by Democrats who would change some of their current platforms to attract these so-called conservative folks who like their government bigger and their liberty not so much.
While this in of itself isnt a bad thing, and it most certainly goes to the roots of the Republican party, it is nothing less than the isolationism of Robert A Taft, who staunchly opposed anything to do with Europe prior and during WWII.
If this was not the case, he would have toppled any other Republican in this race. It has nothing to do with his economics or his social programs, the only thing thats killing him is his foreign affairs ideas.
Bravo! MadDoctorD
Love Thy Enemy - Is talk of a U.S.-Iranian dialogue realistic?

A keen amateur boxer who kept a lion as a pet, Kadyrov said women were the root of all crime committed in Chechnya because they were inviting men to have sex with them.

From time to time, Ill ping on noteworthy articles about politics, foreign and military affairs. FReepmail me if you want on or off my list.
“Most of Paul’s support comes from conservatives angry over the big spending, big government and prolonged war. You also have libertarians who have been ignored by the GOP, and the populist right concerned about illegal immigration & the NAU.”
“Paul may not win over registered Republicans in the primaries,”
“you have a guy like Paul who is bringing in newcomers, the libertarians, the independents, the cross-over Democrats, and the conservatives angry at Bush back into the GOP to vote for him.”
“If Dr. Paul wins the nomination, you can basically stick a fork into the Democratic Party.”
Well it sounds like a powerful new force has hit American politics and Dr. Paul is sweeping all that stands before him into his massive new movement. I guess we won’t recognize the terrain after the shakeup of 2008 takes place.
The GOP should learn to be just like the Leftists and pander and demagogue to people’s emotions rather then appeal to their reason?
No thanks. We all ready have a party that relentlessly appeals to the emotional whimsy of ignorant people, they are called Democrats.
“...it still would be legal for one man to own another and a man to be a commodity that can be bought and sold. No wonder Stormfront and David Duke like him.”
Didn’t you get the memo? Stormfront and David Duke only like Ron Paul because of his message of peace and freedom.
“What Dr. Paul is attempting is to bring back the America that existed before the Civil War — minus slavery, of course. There are many different flavors of federalism, and Dr. Paul’s flavor appears to be the same as Andrew Jackson’s.”
Like my tagline. I’ve been using for about a month now. Feel free to use it too.
Would ALSO be nice if instead of screaming hate at everyone who questions their god, Der Paul if ONE time the Paul-bots tried actually making a rational argument for their candidate's view points
Contrary to the Paulbot dogma, there is utterly NO requirement in the US Constitution for a declaration of war to legitimize the use of US military force.
Amazing how the Paulbots, with their continual screaming about the US Constitution, demonstrate such total ignorance of what the Document actually says or how it actually works.
